A vinyl halide is a chemical compound with the formula CH.=CHX Benzyl chloride is a halogenated organic compound that Beneneme has the chemical formula CeH-CH:Cl A substitution reaction is a chemical reaction during Substitution reaction —_| which one functional group in a chemical compound is replaced by another functional group Sandmeyer reaction is a type of substitution reaction that is widely used in the production of aryl halides from aryl Giazonium salts. In this reaction, copper salts such as chloride, bromide, or iodide ions are utilised as catalysts Sandmeyer's Reaction A Grignard reagent or Grignard compound has the Grignard reagent general formula RMoX, where X is a halogen and R is an organic group, usually an alkyl or aryl Amethyl group is single-bonded to a carbonyl in the acetyl group. An acyl radical's carbonyl centro has one unbonded electron with which it makes a chemical bond with the molecule's remainder R. Acetyl group General Methods of Preparation: Vedaniti, Lear UNE Online + Organic compounds containing halogens, also known as alkyl halides or haloalkanes. are compounds in which one or more hydrogen atoms in hydrocarbons are replaced by halogen atoms (F, Cl, Br, I). These compounds can be prepared through various methods, including *Halogenation of Alkanes: Alkanes can undergo free radical halogenation in tho presence of halogens (Cly, Br2) and heat or ultraviolet (UV) light + Hydrohalogenation of Alkenes: Alkenes can react with hydrogen halides (HCI, HBr) to form alkyl halides in an addition reaction + Halogenation of Alcohols: Alcohols can be converted to alkyl halides by reacting them with phosphorus halides (PBr3, PCs). +Halogenation of Hydrocarbons: Aromatic compounds can be halogenated using nalogenating agents ike Bry /FeBrs (Bromination) or Cl / AICls (Chlorination) Properties and Reactions: * Alkyl halides have distinct properties and reactivity due to the polar nature of the carbon halogen (C-X) bond. Some key properties and reactions include +C-X Bond Polarity: The carbon-halogen bond is polar, with the halogen being more electronegative. This results in partial positive and negative charges on the carbon and halogen atoms, respectively. + Reactivity Towards Nucleophiles: The polar nature of the C-X bond makes alkyl halides susceptible to nucleophilic attacks. Nucleophiles, which are electron-rich species can attack the carbon atom, leading to substitution reactions. * Reactivity Towards Bases: Alkyl halides can also undergo elimination reactions when treated with strong bases. The base abstracts a proton from the adjacent carbon resulting in the formation of an alkene + Reactivity Towards Metals: Alkyl halides can react with motals like sodium (Na) or magnesium (Mg) to produce organometallic compounds, which are important intermediates in organic synthesis. Vedaniti, Lear UNE Online Nature of C-X bond The carbon halogen bond of an alkyl halide is polarised because halagen atoms are more electronegative than carbon atoms. The carbon atom has a partial positive charge, whereas the halogen atom has a partial negative charge. Fluorine atoms are the smallest, while iodine atoms are the largest, because the size of halogen atoms rises as we go down the group in the periodic table. As a result, the length of the carbon-halogen bond rises from C—F to C—I Reactions of Organic Compounds Containing Halogen 4. Nucleophilic Substitution Reaction A nucleophile combines with a haloalkane (the substrate) that has a partial positive charge on the carbon atom linked to halogen in this reaction. The halogen atom, also known as the leaving group, undergoes @ substitution process and becomes a halide ion. The substitution reaction is known as @ nucleophilic substitution reaction because it is triggered by a nucleophile. It is one of the most useful types of alkyl halide organic reactions in which the halogen is linked to sp® hybridised carbon. (a) Substitution nucleophilic bimolecular (SN?) reaction The reaction between CH,Cl and hydroxide ions to produce methanol and chloride ions follows second order kinetics, which means that the rate is determined by the concentrations of both reactants. The entering nucleophile reacts with the alkyl halide, breaking the carbon halide link while generating a new carbon-OH bond. There is no intermediary generated because these two processes occur simultaneously in a single phase. As a result, the attacked group's carbon atom structure inverts Vedaniti, Lear NEOnlne Inversion of configuration is the term for this process. The carbon atom is simultaneously bound to the entering nucleophile and the outgoing leaving group in the transttion state, which makes such complexes unstable and unable to separate. Because the carbon atom in the transition state is connected to five atoms at the same time, itis unstable. Because this reaction necessitates the nucleophile approaching the carbon containing the leaving group, bulky substituents on or near the carbon atom have a significant inhibitory effect Because there are only three tiny hydrogen atoms in methyl halides, they react the fastest in SN? reactions of all the simple alkyl halides. Because bulky groups obstruct approaching nucleophiles, tertiary halides are the least reactive. As a result, the following is the order of reactivity: Primary halide > Secondary halide > Tertiary halide.

The reaction of tert-butyl bromide with hydroxide ion produces tert-butyl alcohol and follows first-order kinetics, which means that the rate of reaction is determined by the concentration of only one reactant, tert-butyl bromide. It happens in two stages. The polarised C—Br bond is slowly cleaved in step |, yielding a carbocation and a bromide ion. In step Il, the carbocation is attacked by a nucleophile to complete the substitution reaction CH 3 Vedaniti, Lear UNE Online 9 (CH,),CBr 24, + Br H,¢ CH, CH, + OH © step ad tn ae (CH,),COH 3 3 The first step is the slowest and most reversible. it entails the breakdown of the C-Br bond, for which the energy is produced by solvating halide ions with the proton of a protic solvent Because the reaction rate is determined by the slowest step, the rate is determined solely by the concentration of alkyl halide and not by the concentration of hydroxide ion. Furthermore, the higher the stability of a carbocation, the easier it will be to generate it from an alkyl halide and the faster the process will be. Because of the great stability of 3° carbocations in alkyl halides, 3° alkyl halides undergo SN' reaction fairly quickly. The sequence of reactivity of alkyl halides towards SN’ and SN? reactions can be summarised as follows For S,2 reaction —_—_—_— Tertiary halide; Secondary halide; Primary halide; CH,X OOOO For S,1 reaction 2. Halogen Exchange Reaction Alkyl iodides are frequently made by reacting alkyl chlorides/bromides with sodium iodide in dry acetone. The Finkelstein reaction is the name for this reaction R-X + Nal > R+l + NaX Vedaniti, Lear UNE Online x= Cl, Br The best way to make alkyl fluondes is to heat an alkyl chloride ar bromide in the presence of a motallic fluoride such as AgF, Hg,F,, CoF,, or SbF,. The reaction is termed as the Swarts reaction CH,-Br + AGF — CH,-F + AgBr 3. Elimination Reaction When a haloalkane containing a -hydrogen atom is heated with an alcoholic potassium hydroxide solution, the hydrogen atom from the -carbon atom is removed, and a halogen atom from the -carbon atom is formed. As a result, an alkene is generated as a result of the reaction Beta hydrogen is eliminated in this reaction, which is known as a beta-elimination reaction in science, If more than one alkene could be created due to the availability of more than one -hydrogen atom, one alkene is usually synthesised as the primary product. o™ FA! —C*+¢— — > Sc=cO + B-H+ x7 / \ rp B= Base; X= Leaving group 4.
